Weymouth Relief Road artefacts to go on show (UK)
A number of artefacts discovered during work on an £87m road development in Dorset are to go on display.
The Weymouth Relief Road is being built to ease traffic between Dorchester and Weymouth and Portland, where Olympic sailing events will be held in 2012.
The site attracted much interest when archaeologists found an ancient burial pit on Ridgeway Hill last year.
Items including ancient bones, Iron Age pottery and shale jewellery will go on display at Weymouth Pavilion.
